The Definition of Hypocracy has to be "Democrat"

Who do you suppose give more money and time to charity? Democrats who are always talking about needing to help those less fortunate, or Republicans who are saying charity should come from the heart. Republicans, those right wing bigots, Bible-thumping numbskulls, who can't get it through their thick skulls that God isn't in charge, even give more blood than the Dems.

This will be my second time to site the work of Syracuse University professor Arthur C. Brooks. He earlier reported, and I pointed out, that liberals have fewer children than conservatives. Thus they are contributing to their own decline.

He has written a book on this new topic titled "Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism" (Basic Books, $26), which is due for release Nov. 24. In it he says:

"For too long, liberals have been claiming they are the most virtuous members of American society. Although they usually give less to charity, they have nevertheless lambasted conservatives for their callousness in the face of social injustice."
